      Management actively promotes group think.

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      People are mostly friendly. Benefits package is good. Company spends significant amount of money on moral boosting activities.

      Cons

      Management actively promotes only those who tell them what they want to hear, and suppresses dissenting opinions. This is particularly acute with regards to project planning, resulting in half-backed, rushed code. A direct quote from management. "Don't ask the domain tech lead so many hard questions."

      Pros

      Decent salary, decent work-life balance, some good people to work with. Decent cafeteria and coffee bar.

      Cons

      Inexperienced management, lack of accountability, low standards for acceptable quality of work. The same mistakes are made over and over.

      Great business, great people, not so great career

      Senior product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great business... PayPal is the next Visa. It has been growing pretty quickly and will soon out pace ebay in revenues.

      Cons

      Long development cycles. No processes. Biggest downside is slow promotion cycles. People are not promoted only based on merit but also based on the years they have been with PayPal. For example if you had two great years in a row, it will not help you even if you are promoted.
